India's shuttlers at London 2012

Saina Nehwal will look to make up for the disappointment of missing out on a medal at Beijing in the 2012 London Games; while Jwala Gutta and Ashwini Ponnappa would also want to come away with a medal in the women's doubles. Here's a profile of the Indian badminton contingent for the London Olympics.

Ashwini Ponnappa is participating in her first Olympic Games, and will partner Jwala Gutta in the women's doubles. Ashwini plays a waiting game, but is quick to pounce on opportunities that come her away. She also covers the court well and has one of the most powerful smashes in the game.
